Front Bumper Latches for Quick Release

Well, to make a long story short, after installing my APR front diffuser, let's just say that you shouldn't use rhino ramps anymore if you have a lowered evo. I was lucky the first few times, but recently on the way down the diffuser got stuck and ripped my bumper from the stock mounting points on either side near the front fenders. The bolt and plastic retainer got ripped off and pulled part of the metal along with it. Needless to say that it won't attach easily back on.

What I was wondering is if there are bumper latches that can be purchased to connect the bumper to the fender. I know some race teams run latches so they can quickly switch out bumpers if one gets fried. I'll need it so that mine doesn't keep sagging anymore.

The best I could find is the Protex Body Latches

Do you want to find a lockable latch so your bumper doesn't get stolen?
